The Chatham, Kent-based squad spotted Mac's potential during his first run
in a Formula BMW car towards the end of 2008 when he impressed with his
technique. Subsequently, after a test last week on the GP circuit at
Sepang, Malaysia he was signed on the spot.

Team owner Alan Waite said "Once again I was impressed with Mikkel's skills
and his ability to learn quickly. His improvement over the three days at
Sepang was quite remarkable - he was only just shy of the pole time for
last year's championship race. Even more remarkable was that he set the
time on old tyres!"

Mac, 15, joins Ollie Millroy in the Motaworld line-up and both drivers
have continued testing with the team at Sepang. They were joined by
Australia's Steel Giuliana, the BMW Pacific Scholarship winner, who was
having a trial with the squad.

The Danish teenager said "The change from karting to Formula BMW is a big
step, but after six days testing in Malaysia I have made good progress,
which I am quite sure is the result of the professional supervision that
Motaworld Racing gave me."

He added "I am very pleased that I have signed the contract with Motaworld
Racing. The team spirit is outstanding, and I feel very comfortable here,
which is important when we have to work together the whole season. There is
no doubt that Motaworld Racing is the right team to improve my skills."

"2009 is going to be tough, because there are so many new things for me to
learn. But I am looking forward to getting started, taking the plunge and
doing my best."
